16th May: Midweek Football Acca – 5/1 Value bet

The race for the top four dominates the midweek agenda in the Premier League while in France Monaco can win the title and in Spain, Madrid can put one hand on the trophy.

Tuesday 16th May

CET 19:45 Arsenal v Sunderland

Arsenal are ending the season strongly and hoping to snatch a top four spot, although they will need a favour from Manchester City or Liverpool to do so. A win on Tuesday would put pressure on both those clubs and at home, against an already-relegated side struggling with injuries, a home win should be a formality.

Tip: home win @1/9

CET 20:00 Manchester City v West Brom

Manchester City are still not quite assured of a place in the top four either but at least they have their destiny in their own hands and will hope to take a giant step towards a place in the Champions League with victory over West Brom. The Baggies have been on an awful run form of late and with Gabriel Jesus back and firing, there only looks one outcome at the Etihad.

Tip: home win @1/6

Wednesday 17th May

CET 19:45 Southampton v Manchester United

Manchester United are limping over the Premier League finishing line having made it quite clear their whole season now rests on the Europa League final with Ajax. The Red Devils have lost their last two league games and will not want to make it three in a row but may well settle for a point.

Tip: draw @23/10

CET 20:00 Monaco v St Etienne

Monaco take on St Etienne on Wednesday with the title tantalisingly close. Leonardo Jardim’s side need just a point to end their 17-year wait to be crowned French champions and expect them to do it convincingly on home turf.

Tip: home win @2/9

CET 20:00 Celta Vigo v Real Madrid

This game could well decide the title in Spain with Real Madrid playing their game in hand against an out-of-form Celta Vigo. The hosts have lost their last five league games in a row although it’s worth remembering they did beat Barcelona here earlier this season. Madrid may only need a point from this game, but on current form they look fairly unstoppable and should take all three.
